Multiplexers

What is a Multiplexer?
 MULTIPLEX means “MANY INTO ONE”

 A digital multiplexer is a combinational logic


circuit that selects binary information from one
of many input lines and directs it to a single
output line.

 Multiplexer is a device that links a large number of


user terminals to a computer system. It helps in
transmitting several signals through a single channel.

 They connect multiple input lines 2, 4, 8, 16 etc one at
a time to a common output line and are used as one
method of reducing the number of logic gates
required in a circuit.

 It also keeps at every moment track of current status of


each data channel and the internal location of data in
the main memory of the computer.

 It is basically a switch which scans sequentially a


number of terminal interfaces. But only one data line
is active at an instance with high (1) value.

 As per the decoders , we know that , the input
combination decides which AND gate is to be
selected for output. Now ,if you add one more
input line to each of the AND gates ( i.e
I0,I1,I2,I3),the new circuit would be like as given on
next slide.

 Now, as you see, the input combination of C1 and
C2 ( control lines) would determine which of the
four AND gates F0,F1,F2,F3 would be chosen. And
whichever AND gate is chosen , it would produce
the same result as that of the extra input line to it.
 For example , if F0 is chosen , it will produce the
same result as that of I0 which is the extra input
line (similarly for others).
 Now if you put all these outputs of AND gates to
an OR gate ,the circuit is like on the next slide, and
the final result is the same as that of the extra
input line as selected by the input combination.

( select lines) are used as a binary number

The function table of 4 to 1 line multiplexer is as follows:

1 0 I2

Applications of Multiplexer
 Networking or cable transmission.
 Construction of a common bus system.
 Parallel to serial data converter.
 Routing several cords to the same destination.
 Multiplexers are used in Communication Systems like
telephone networks, Satellite systems, Telemetry.
 Broadcasting of Radio and Television signals would
have been impossible without multiplexers.
 Multiplexers are widely used in computer memory to
fetch data from specified memory locations.
